A routine check at a home in Licata, meant to verify that a woman was observing the terms of house arrest, ended with the arrest of her daughter, a 22-year-old woman already known to the police.[1] Officers of the Licata police station in via Campobello and their colleagues from the Agrigento flying squad made the arrest in the “Bronx” district of Licata.[1]

During the check the officers’ attention moved to a car parked outside, and a search of the vehicle found about 1.7 kilograms of marijuana hidden in a bag.[1] Police seized the drug for laboratory analysis.[1]

After formal procedures at the police station, the woman was taken to the Pasquale Di Lorenzo prison in Agrigento, where she was held at the disposal of the judicial authorities.[1]
